Maybe not, I just saw Antonella is the latest pick on that website - vote for the worst!

It's Vote For the Worst at work again.
I went to their web site and those jerks had everybody vote for the country chick. If they don't like AI they are free to use their energy to write their own show and pitch it, but they should leave other people's shows alone.
Makes me wonder; is he the pick for *vote for the worst*???
I bet.
I had that same thought! Haven't checked their website lately...
nm
yeah. she checked in and checked out the same day--sm
said it was not for her.
The worst one yet (sm)

DS first grade teacher, teaching them the difference between their, there, and they're.  Had them copy sentences off the board, something about daffodils, and it said, "they're little petticoats in the breeze" or something like that.  I called her on it, and she was nasty to DS the whole rest of the year (not kidding).


That's not the worst
She told me that she knew I had been trying to have an affair with her husband (yuk and ewww! - oh is that anything like shock and aww. Ha Ha), She said she knew what my game was etc, etc., oh yes...and I should go back to my home state where "my kind" belongs. All the meantime with her finger pointed in my face. She is much larger and stronger than I am and I was too shocked beyond words to comprehend what was happening. She also stood leaning against the door so I had no way out. It was a nightmare. It took me 4 months before I stepped foot in her place again or said a word to her. Slowly we became on good speaking terms. Never did trust her after that. Now we get along okay. I eventually forgave her (she was having her problems), but I wish someone had spoken up on my behalf. I did learn at that time that blood is thicker than marriage (unless you are lucky to have a partner that loves you so much they would do anything to keep you from being hurt). Anyway...I have moved on and don't think about it as often but there are still some times when it is in my mind and it does hurt, but gotta move on.
my worst was 25

Absolute worst was my 25th...my stepmom died from an aortic aneurysm.  She had just gone up to change clothes for dinner and we found her dead within 5 minutes. I think dinner stayed in the oven for 3 days afterward and I have never eaten stuffed shells again.  I haven't liked birthdays since.  As my dad said at the hospital, Happy F-ing Birthday, and he was not one to curse. 


But, a better one was for me was 29 as I got a belly button piercing in memory of my cousin and met my DH on that birthday.  Now I just try to ignore them, though 40 is rapidly approaching and I find myself feeling stuck in a rut...work to pay the bills and for gas, eat, sleep, and do it all again the next day.  I wish I could go back to 21 and do it all over again!!


Worst best man ever?

Worst job..(sm)
Sonic rollerskater girl.  I just didn't know how to rollerskate.  There were a few accidents...LOL.
I don't see any MEN I would vote for - sm
look at the mess they've made of this country. I think it's time for a change, before English becomes a 2nd language in the US, before ALL our jobs end up in the Third World, and before we go to war with yet ANOTHER country for no particular reason, while still another devastating terrorist attack will be launched in the US (I say WILL, not MIGHT, especially if we end up with another loser like Dubya in office...) The men don't seem to be able to keep their pants on, either. And trying to do so seems to cloud their thinking process.

Nope, it's definite time for a woman's touch when it comes to representing this country.
I vote for #2.

I have a 5 yo and a 23 mo, both girls.   I just spent 100 on clothes for the 5 yo alone for back to school.  I did not buy anything for my 23 MO because she has tons of her big sisters hand-me-downs.  I wonder though how this is going to affect her when she gets more aware of things.


UGG.   The joys of raising kids who think money grows on trees.  LOL.    


I vote to let him go....sm
I would say let him go....What a special opportunity that most kids never get. If YOUR vote ends up to be no, would it be possible in any way for you and/or your husband to tag along so that he could go and you just be there for your peace of mind and the 'in case' situations? Another thought....so much changes in a year....I am not sure I would stress about it yet - until you need to. Good luck!
Thanks! I did vote for Kim. (sm)
She's my favorite. I haven't seen the final show yet, but I'm sure it taped for me.
I vote for gma!!!! :-) nm
:-)
My vote is...
for a Bassett Hound, but they do need exercise (all dogs do, I guess, according to the Dog Whisperer).
I second this vote! s/m
I have had two Boston's over the past 12 years and they are wonderful!  You do have to be careful of their eyes because they are easily scratched, but other than that, are very protective, very cuddly and just plain adorable!
Churches are the worst.
I have more people trying to convert me to whatever they are come by my house uninvited than I do people I know. Now I open the door, tell them I'm happy where I am, I'm happy for them that they are happy where they are and that I'm working and can't be disturbed. Then I shut the door. I actually don't go to church anymore. Pretty disgusted with the whole idea really lol.

In your case, I wouldn't let them in. I think they are being extremely rude to you.
Worst one I have ever endured was...sm
At a psychiatric facility - a dictator actually dictated in the bathroom stall while having a bowel movement... actually grunted and laughed into the dictation equipment (hand-held obviously), and then finished his "big job" and then flushed on tape. I complained to the MedRec Dept head, she approached him about it, and we actually referred to him as "the Royal Flush" after that when we got his dictation...Needless to say, we didn't enjoy his transcription or his surprises. He's a big psychiatric research guy here now. Sheesh. ICK indeed. What are they thinking?!!
WHAT?! Some of the worst criminals...
at least money-wise, as in stealing church money and money from little old ladies, are the big time evangelists on TV!! Do you think these people have "lack of God"?? I personally think it's lack of values/morals in this country (and other countries of course) that cause people to commit crimes, and of course lack of conscious! It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of God! I can't count how many times I've seen news reports where people commit a crime and everyone that knew them said what a great person they are and how shocked they were that they committed the crime - plus, a lot of these people go to church and actually believe in God and it still doesn't phase them to commit the crimes. I don't know, maybe it's because they believe in God that makes them think God will save them or forgive them, so it's okay to commit the crimes?? I'm not an atheist, I just live in the same town at Pat Roberts and where that whole network of his is located and I'm sick of these people living like kings with their multi-milliion dollar homes, helicopters, vacation homes, etc., while there are people in our country that are homeless, without insurance, and starving - I'm sorry but I don't think this is the Christian way to behave and I'm sick of people saying that God is the answer to everything! I really don't think this has anything to do with why these people commit crimes.
What's the worst that can happen; you buy a new one?
I have heard people clean them by running them under the shower and letting them dry in the warm outside air. I'm going to try it, I have a backup cheapie to use if it gets ruined and I have to buy a new one.
My worst Thanksgiving
I remember the date well.  It was Thanksgiving of 1978.  I had made the Thanksgiving meal and had invited friends.  We were living in Wisconsin away from family.  Well, some friends and I were putting the last minute touches on the meal, when I heard my dog going crazy outside.  I opened the door and in she came, smelling horribly of SKUNK!  Needless to say no one could eat anything, as the house just "STUNK OF SKUNK". 
We did the worst Thanksgivings - how about the best?

My best one was 15 years ago.  My daughter was born the night before Thanksgiving and we were ready to go home on Thanksgiving day. 


My parents were having dinner at their house and a ton of extended family over who were all excited to see the new baby.   We went over there (yes, before I had even gone home yet) for a couple of hours. 


My husband's parents were also having a big family gathering at their place, which was closer to our house.  They all wanted to see the new baby too so we went over there for a few hours too. 


I was exhausted but it was still fun.  Mom and baby were discharged from the hospital at 10 a.m. and didn't make it home until around 10 p.m. that night.  The other kids were tired so they let mom and baby go right to bed without a fuss and dad went back to his folks for the holiday family poker match.


No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
what is the worst song ever?
This was on our local news this morning.

My first thought was "Help me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys. Seasons of the sun is right up there for me also.

What's your 'worst song ever'?

worst song?
I have always hated "You light up my life". That was so popular years ago they played it constantly. To this day I want scream when I hear it.
worst thing ever huh? (okay almost)
I'm sorry I don't have suggestions because mine was due to my severe sinusitis as well as the prednisone I was on. You would never think that losing your taste would matter... but having to eat food, just to eat it and taste NOTHING... I tell you what, i dont take the small things for granted anymore :) (of course there were things i was happy not to taste and/or smell... nasal spray was one of them, because i knew my senses were back after using that one day and gagging!!!)

hope you get better soon!!
my worst fear right now is that even
if I have cash in my hand, it will be worthless, and might as well use it as TP.
worst = medquist
they suck
That's not the worst part. nm

this is actually the worst, I quote:
'.......Aren't boomer women great? They know how to solve a man's mid-life crisis without even breaking a sweat!'

This is so ridiculing and portraying the woman as cold and materialistic.





That's why we automatically think the worst
Everyone remembers the exceptions, rather than the vast majority whose ailments turn out to be minor.

In any case, there's no point in worrying until you're sure there's something to worry about.

Go get yourself checked out!

I'm only 34 and I had the darned same symptoms...everything hurt--fingers, arms, hands, jaw, neck, back, butt, even my hair, I swear!   I have a very high pain threshold too, but the constant aching and inability to get out of bed without feeling like I was just run over by a steam roller was just too much to take.  I think I let it go for about 2 years before calling for an appointment, thinking I could just work around the pain.


The thing that finally sent me to the doc's was that even exercising and walking didn't help with the pain, and it got to a point where it hurt too much to even do that.


Turns out I could have some form of connective tissue disorder, kinda like lupus but not.  My nurse gave me a prescription for simple naproxen and wow, what a difference.  I took it twice daily for the first week and I only need to take it every now and again.  I've totally kicked myself in the butt for not doing something about it sooner, but well, you know how that goes.


So, go get yourself checked out for pity's sake


 


you could also get her checked --sm
for feline diabetes, as not using the litter box is also a sign of this, along with recurrent uti's and eventually kidney failure. My vet says that feline diabetes has increased significantly over the past few years.
He obviously needs to get this checked out - sm
by the doctor, it may be time that he does need the help of some medication. Get him to his doctor pronto before it gets any worse.
Have you ever checked out
different lipstick brands and get disgusted when it takes 7 turns to get the lipstick out where you can use it? That's what I've noticed about some of the more expensive brands. If they turned quicker like Revlon I might have bought them. :o} (I don't remember if Estee Lauder is one of those).

Not sure if I'm lazy or just a stickler for efficiency. Ha!
Eww, I would have that checked
by a doctor to be on the safe side. Especially considering the bumps you said you can see on his eyeball.. that can't be good.
I checked this out and I think it looks
fascinating. My daughter was a bit grossed out. My son hasn't seen the video yet but he wants to go into medicine and I know when he see the video he will love it. My daughter and I are going to see Legally Blond the musical while hubby and son are going to see Blue Man Group (all 4 of us will see The Lion King). Maybe just a little mother/son bonding time at Bodies will be just the thing.
Get it checked.
My husband broke his at 18. When he was 30, he had to get angioplasty because he had 2 stenoses of subclavian. They are not sure if it was related to this injury or not. Still has weak/to absent pulse at left wrist.
Just checked it out !! So much fun...nm

Of course, this is after you have her checked out by your vet - nm
:-)
I would get it checked out.
Even without more symptoms I would urge him to get in to his regular doctor to get looked at. I have heard of people being nauseated, sweaty, short of breath with the pain of a heart attack but I also think it can be an individual thing and different with everyone.
I don't know but I would have him get it checked nm

You'd better get checked out.
I guess I've transcribed way too many neurology reports, but if I were you I'd get it checked out with possible an MRI of the brain.  Seriously, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Get it checked
To help you not worry. I had a lump once in the groin and it was because of a urinary tract infection. Although it sounds like yours is related to the bug bite. Better safe than sorry, I would just have the doc look at it.
Have you checked into how big she will get and
how long she will live? That seems like potentially quite an investment! lol
vote is a joke
There is a web site set up, which I am sure most of you know about, that encourages voters to vote for certain singers, (the worst) Sanjaya happening to be the one the last couple weeks. I know the same thing pretty much happened with a couple of singers last year, they were mentioned on the web site and for several weeks, although they were terrible, they were not even in the bottom 3.
I did not vote for ANYONE in this "regime," so my...

conscious is clear as far as that goes.  Majority rules though, so the majority obviously likes being sheep is all I can figure.  


I vote for Giacomo!
nm
Zeus gets my vote! nn

i will only vote for a mother
think twice before sending our children to war. Don't forget, women are dying in war now and fighting. If a woman can get shot or blown up in Iraq, she sure can be President. I have decided to only vote for a woman that has had children, and preferably a person of color. I think men think too much with their testosterone and have brain poisoning from it. I will never vote for a man again.
