Oh, please! End times! People have been saying that since the beginning times!
It's just sensationalism. It seems that journalism has gone to a warm place in a handbasket. I briefly majored in journalism back in 1980, and what passes for journalism now would have flunked any of us right our of an entry-level course! It's all sensational reporting, because networks think that brings in the viewers, and thus drives up the advertising price that they can charge during broadcasts.
Another of my pet peeves in "journalism" is the phrase "Unconfirmed sources say . . . " Yeah. Right. Unconfirmed sources is just another way of saying, "Rumor has it . . . "
Next time there is breaking news, listen for it. It's said over and over again, because the networks and stations want to get the news out first. I don't know what happened to fact-checking and pursuit of the truth in journalism, but it's all about getting info out fast, and keeping the public tuned in with the most sensational reports that they can put out there.
Back in the days of the Roman Empire, people were treating each other pretty badly and in unbelievable ways, too. Crucifixion comes to mind. So, I don't really think modern news reports are pointing to end times any more than at any other time in recorded history.
I can get into it, but I don't have it on favorites either
try changing that. It is still there. I believe the last post on it was 11-01.
She's one of my favorites also.
I think she sings well. Definitely in my top 3 or 4.
One of my favorites. nm

My favorites are
The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, The Soup, Ace of Cakes, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. (ok- pretty boring here) but they are relaxing shows to me.
I have 2 favorites for the
Pork BBQ:
3 lb boneless pork roast
1 large can/bottle tomato juice
6 oz worcestershire sauce
1 large onion, cut up (doesn't have to be chopped)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar (white)
salt & pepper to taste
Place pork roast in crock pot. Pour tomato juice over roast. Add remaining ingredients, stir, cook on high for 4-5 hours. The meat falls apart, but you may need to shred. Turn to low until ready to eat. Delicious
Pot Roast:
3 lb beef roast
1 onion cut up
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can beef broth
3-4 beef boullion cubes
2-3 bay leaves
garlic salt and pepper
Sprinkle roast with garlic salt and pepper on all sides; place in crock pot. Spread soup over top of roast. Add onion and bay leaf to pot. Add beef broth and boullion cubes. Add enough water to just cover ingredients. Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. Meat is real tender and falls apart.
I usually serve over rice or noodles. Makes delicious hot open-face roastbeef sandwiches too.
Kambrya is one of my favorites.
.
My favorites are the vintage..
I still think the commercials from the 50s and 60s are the best. I love Speedy from the Alka Selzer commercials and the old Halo shampoo commercials. Everyone used to sing and whistle the tunes from the commercials - no one does that nowadays.
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.
Also loved the "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" commercial where the guy is up in the middle of night taking an Alka-Seltzer - people had a lot of fun discussing what the whole thing was that he ate.
I'm old.
Printing My Favorites
Yes, it is possible. Here is a link to the instructions:

what are your Thanksgiving favorites that would
never make it to Martha Stewart's table. My daughter loves my ex-MIL's strawberry pretzel jello! Not haute cuisine!
I saved this in my Favorites.

Ok since we are talking favorites here...sm
What is your favorite drink that you cannot get enough of? I have 2. One is Diet orange Sunkist. The other is sweet tea. I can't drink a lot of either, or shouldn't, due to the fact that sweet tea is about 100 calories a glass, and there is no telling how many glasses I can drink. Diet Sunkist has no calories, but I have interstitial Cystitis (chronic bladder inflammation) so a lot of soft drinks are not good for it. I have been drinking a lot of sweet tea lately, but I need to back off of it cause I gained 10 pounds from Thanksgiving to X-mas. My mom made homemade candy a lot in December and I couldn't resist eating it constantly, thus the extra 10 pounds.
My 2 favorites from last night were-
Adam and Allison. I really think Lil, Anoop, and Matt will be in the bottom 3. To me, last night Danny did not sound as good as he has been.
LOL! Maybe that will get him voted off :)

I voted for Amy as well. nm
!
I voted, too! :)...............n/m

Try Clinique's Happy. One of my favorites.
*
Hydrangeas and azaleas are two of my favorites
Hydrangea loves partial or full shade and so do azaleas, although they will take a little more sun than hydrangeas.
These are my two most favorites, but I prefer the CSI in Vegas...sm
I think Grissom is awesome!

It absolutely is because he voted.....
In my small town, everytime you vote, you can pretty much guarantee you will be called for jury duty within the next year! Maybe it has something to do with smaller towns.....Merry Christmas!
I voted for many different people, but
none of those who made it into the bottom 3, so at least that seemed to work, LOL.
I'm fed up with AI. Gina should not have been voted off. This whole
of the voting thing. If they're going to continue AI in the future, then they need to stop allowing the public to vote because the public, thanks to jerks like Howard Stern, has made a mockery of the show. These contestants worked hard to get where they're at and the good ones are the victims. It's just not fair.
well they voted for GW, nuff said
them being morons.
I think that Chris will be voted off.
Adam is definitely the best.
I really think that Allison is very good.
And Danny as well.
These group, IMO, is the best EVER.
I hope that Allison will stay. She is so humble and modest, really nice and very talented, just 17 years old.
Alana voted off tonight and
I am SO glad. She was a little snit, making snide remark to Simon as he told her she ran out of steam. Well, she did, hello! Do these people not understand going against the judges will not work for you? Now there is another think she has it when she doesn't that needs to hit the door just anytime, Antonella.
Dancing with the Stars - Who got voted off? nm

They all are bad this year in my opinion. I have not voted once at all. nm

I voted for your hospital - I hope you win!!! (nm)
x
HEY, Y'ALL VOTED FOR 'EM. don't whine now! nm
nm
Voted for your hospital and passed on info
to the officers of my Civil War Round Table. If I read the map correctly, ya'll are just down the road from the Andersonville National Historic Site. I hope they will either put it out as an E-mail broadcast to the membership or put a blurb in our newsletter. Our big auction to raise funds for battlefield preservation is Friday. I've signed up to make an announcement there. We may be up north, but we do have a contingent of loyal Confederates (smile) and some experience with tornados.
I thought Will and the blond girl voted off last were the
nm
Congratulations! Yes, I remember and voted. Kudos to all visitors

some information on American Idol and why the good singers voted off
I have just read this this morning on a news channel. Not flattering but really says it like it is, apparently. The channel says the really good ones, i.e. Malinda and LaKisha got the boot because they said Malinda looked matronly and LaKisha was heavy-set and had gap-toothed appearance. Even though these were the best, now days in order to be bankable and sellable, talent is not what is the selling point, people want someone like Blake who has the little girls swooning and Jordin who is easy on the eyes. It says if you are female singer, you'd better be sexy. The above was what was printed in the article and I thought this said it all.
My family (no kids) all voted to skip the gift-thing - sm
from now on. Most of us have tiny places where we can't squeeze one more object in without something else having to be thrown out. Most of us are on tight budgets (especially me!), and it gets harder every year to find a gift that is even worth mailing. So, without all the money-angst, and the horror of having to set foot in a Wal-Mart or Target during the Holidays or endure the the long lines at the Post Office, this year I'm actually looking forward to the Holidays for the first time in decades, instead of DREADING them. It can be a time of friendship & relaxation and enjoying the season, and not of shopping, credit card debt, and coming down with the flu.
Right away all 3 times...
luckily everything went well all 3 times. My best friend wasn't so lucky and miscarried soon after telling people.
We have been there many times..
and we loved Fort Wilderness camping resort the best. It is a bit pricey but you can barbecue outside or cook (full kitchen) inside the cabin so you do save money there. There is a lot to do right there in the camping resort, fishing, boat and bike rentals, pools, restaurants, an arcade for the kids, snack bar, etc., so just a wonderful family experience. There are also lower *value* priced resorts right in Disney also. But I would definitely suggest staying in a Disney resort; everything is right there; transportation to the parks, etc.
And you can't go to Disney and not go to the Magic Kingdom! Universal and MGM are nice but don't compare, IMO. And Epcot probably is more for older kids/adults.
The kids will love the water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
Anyway, here is a good website if you don't already have it.

Most of all, HAVE FUN!!!
behind the times
Well, if you're behind the times so am I. My daughter has been taught since she was a baby that if someone takes the time and effort to give you a gift, the least you can do is take the time and effort to send a written thank you. Especially if something is mailed and you aren't able to thank them in person. I have a cousin who is the perfect example. When my husband died 2 years ago, I never got so much as a sympathy card. OK, fine, some people just don't know what to say in that situation--uncomfortable with death or whatever. This year we both have daughters graduate from high school. I was sent an announcement and party invitation which was out of town so couldn't go. But I sent a card and money the same day I sent MY daughter's announcement and invite. Did I ever get a thank you, written or verbal? Nope. Did they send my daughter a card? Nope. My mom went to their grad party and asked if they'd received my card (hoping to shame them) and they just said, "oh yeah, it was just so nice of her." Absolutely no qualms about taking without any gratitude and never reciprocating. I'd sent money because I didn't want to punish the daughter for her parents lack of social skills, but it appears that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I can't wait to get a wedding or birth announcement from this girl. Whether she knows it or not, she's received her last gift from me.
end times sm
I agree 200% with you and I am ready to go. All have the choice to believe or not. Yes is been talked about since the beginning of time, but our Bible tells us exactly what the signs are. Besides, even IF it were not true, don't you agree the Christian life is a better way to live than anything else? I believe its true and I don't believe we have much longer here. I am waiting and watching!
How many times are you going
to mention that his father never contributed any money, not a penny? Since you keep repeating it, it must be very significant in your mind. His father never contributed a penny to raising him. Now there is a rift between you and your son because of money. Anybody else out there think these two points are more connected than they may appear to be on the surface?
how many times have you
x
How many times does this have
First, you have to find out if you qualify. Then, look online on the IRS website to find the schedule according to your SS#.
Of course, if you didn't use direct deposit for your taxes to begin with, they will send you out a check and those won't be sent out until later.
It is not a crock - we got ours on time, according to the schedule!
DD has had this 3 times sm
and each time a different diagnosis. First thought to be a swollen lymph node (from cat scratch) and put on antibiotics. Second times many months later was thought to be a cyst and put on antibiotics. A year later again, was told it was MRSA and put on antibiotics. Each time it went away and since the last time in Feb. hasn't not returned. Still don't know for sure exactly what it was but antibiotics did the trick every time.
LOL!!! One of the few times I actually
LOL'd when I typed those letters . . . heavily!
Times gone by......... sm
I remember when I was a child the "dime store" in our town. It had everything from pencils to yard goods to toys to old medicinal remedies. They had a wonderful candy counter where you bought your candy by weight. You made your selection from the glass-fronted counter that was juuuuust above eye level for a small child. The clerk would scoop out the desired amount of candy with an old brass candy scoop and weigh it on an old balance scale. Then she would put the candy in a little white paper sack. There were all kinds, jelly beans, butterscotch that melted in your mouth, peppermint that really cleared the sinuses, and wonderful little maple goodies to name but a few. It tasted so much better than candy tastes these days. And yes, they had Evening in Paris and Old Spice and hankies for both mom and dad. I even held my very first job there in high school where I helped take inventory every year right after Christmas. We had to count each and every item (well, probably not the jelly beans) by hand. I remember counting boxes and boxes of pens and pencils and rulers. I miss that store as it closed down many years ago when the big discount houses started opening up in the nearby "big" town.
At times she can be
hot and other times a mess. I remember her being on Ellen recently and the Pussycat Dolls (I think it was them) were also on there. This was also when Ellen had the dunk tank and if I am not mistaken the person that got in the dunk tank that day was in a great bikini. At the end of the segment wtih Pam she had to take off her coat and show she was in a bikini as well. She admits that she loves the attention. This woman is famous for being...well famous.
I have read that she is really a good mother. Everyone take that one with a grain of salt, go ahead, wrap it around a margaritia if you like!
I don't know how many times I have said to DH
when I see the way someone is dressed or how ridiculous their hair looks "That poor girl just doesn't have any friends." I remember in high school there was a very pretty girl that had several friends, but her make-up line was unreal. I could not believe her friends never said a word to her about it.
All my friends and I had little sayings like "LOT" for lipstick on teeth or "The sky is blue" if you needed to wipe your nose. What is so wrong with graciously and politely telling someone you care about the truth?
Yes! Several times and it needs it sm
really bad now. Hubby out of town on business and will be home tomorrow. First thing he said when I talked tohim tonight was he dreaded mowing the lawn when he gets home! It has been raining cats and dogs making it grow even more!
I had 2 different times.
What I mean, is I had my 2 oldest when I was 24 & 26 (they are 23 months apart); I had my younger 2 when I was 33 & 35 (they are 20 months apart). There are 10 years between my oldest and my youngest. I guess I had the empty nest syndrome after sending the younger of my oldest 2 off to school! :) haha
Have seen that one several times and
if anything, thought he was whiter than usual but believed it was Jackson.
This has happened too many times to me. sm
I have been hired and they told me I will be taking on all their offices to later find a temp sitting there. Then they'll say "I never said I would never keep you." This was not contracted services.
It hurts. I had that happen to me last year and I don't think I've recovered yet. Told the client I don't catch clients up. She said ok. I started work without a contract (not good). Then I felt trapped in the deal. She negotiated everything in her company's favor and then one day suddenly said stop. They were "caught up." I wondered how did I get into this?
I realized the following:
1. Never negotiate your services.
2. Never start work without a contract.
3. Always meet them (no telephone negotiations).
4. No giving prices over the phone.
Wish I had other ways to weed them out. So many OMs where I live who want to cover their bottom line while misleading MTs. I have been so reluctant to market because of this. They fish MTs out. It hurts.
