This show entertains me so much, I can hardly tell you.  The fact that it's about cars is incidental.  The three hosts just entertain the daylights out of me.

People say I'm strange, but my $ goes to camping gear.
I love the wilderness, backpacking, kayaking, hiking, etc. This past weekend I had a wonderful backpacking trip. I was walking through a cloud of bright green ferns and blueberry meadows, and I loved it. Don't get me wrong! I love a good hotel, too! But I'm best recharged by a walk in the woods. Oh, yeah! And movies, music, and podcasts. I can't live without my iPod!
brushes, hats, head gear for "dress up,", etc. Just

Dr. Who on BBC America
I watched almost all of the old ones, starting with Tom Baker, so I was so happy when they brought it back a couple of years ago.

I'm also a Grey's Anatomy junkie and I can't wait until next Monday when The Closer comes back on!!!
yes we sure are here in middle America!
So do my folks on the w. coast, and our celeb friend in Tx, its great! Dancing is an art form, and i am intriged by the quickness and methods that these newbies learn the dances, how well they perform them, how their character plays into it, etc. Love it!
Education in America.....sm

I'm still shaking my head over this one, folks.  A member of our local school board, when asked about a child whose parents were told was failing all classes but in reality was only failing one said, "Well, a child can be behind their peers but still passing." 


I don't know about you all, but in my day and time of growing up, if you had a C or higher average in a class you were passing and parents weren't told the child was failing.


Mall of America
Any one been to Mall of America in Minnesota, my DH wants to go and not sure what to expect?
Mall of America
Yep, I've been there more times than I'd like to admit. My teenage daughter absolutely loves it! Very big, lots of walking, but it's 4 levels and each "corner" is anchored by a department store. Has Camp Snoopy, an amusement park, in the middle and lots of food courts scattered throughout. Also has restaurants and movie theater on the fourth floor. Any other questions?
Mall of America
Are you from Minnesota? I'm originally from Rochester, but have lived away (all over the country) for the past 27 years. ButI'm moving back this summer. Watch out Mall of America!
Mall of America
There's a new Ikea store right across from the mall. By the way, if you get there early enough, you can find parking in one of the garages which are right across the street and connected by sky-ways (free parking). They also have lockers you can rent in case your purchases get too heavy to carry! Have fun and happy shopping!
Who do you want to win America's Got Talent? (sm)

I love the ventriloquist and Cas Haley. I have gotten to really like Butterscotch in the last few weeks, but hope either Terry Fator or Cas wins. Tomorrow night will tell. 


America Idol
Does it bother anyone that there are foreign contestants on American Idol?
This is America. Your husband does not have the
right to tell anyone whether they can or cannot go anywhere, whether to your town to visit you, or anywhere else for that matter. I would just tell him that she is coming. If he doesn't like it, so what!!!
America's Most Wanted.
i try to never miss it. You never know when you might be able to help with a tip. Plus you learn how others have survived and coped with crime, and tips for staying safe. The down side is seeing how very cold-hearted and mean some people can be.

also like Greta VanSustren(sp?) on Fox; she has a good interview style.
and our nation IS America.
and the opposite of PROgress is CONgress! (he-yuck)


Of course they do, it's the dumbing down of America...
keep tabloids going, keep people interested in video games, the latest cell phone and PDA technology, ridiculous television shows with no substance, anything for Americans not to think on their own...that way they are easily persuaded into anything. Keep them happy and clueless.
Anyone who has banking with Bank of America
you might want to know that the CEO of this bank has decided to let illegals have accounts here in the United States. No matter they are here illegally. I am in the process of changing banks.
Is anybody watching America Has Talent?

Normally I avoid those types of shows like the plague but I like seeing all these people who are amateurs show what they can do and you can see them improving and polishing their act and their look and gaining stage presence...it's really kind of nice to see such a variety of people striving to make their dreams come true.


What is your favorite act?


America is pretty wealthy. Does that mean all of

This is America. Learn English.
Why does this country make it so easy for them NOT to learn English?
This Is America. My grandparents who came from Italy learned English. They weren't "catered to" in Italian.
Now it's.... Press 1 for English 2 for Spanish.
Instructions to anything are given in both English and Spanish.
Signs all over are in written in Spanish.
We make it easy for them. Why should they learn English.
Because they spend money in this country. Is that why? They should make an effort to learn the language spoken here. JMO

Thoughts?
Not to mention when you try to make a service call, you get someone from India you can barely understand. Outsourcing, what a beautiful thing. NOT.

I had to mention the guy on America's Got Talent s/m
the other night who sang opera!  What a talent and what a warm wonderful guy who broke down when he spoke of his mother, what she has done for him, and what this means to her!  
America should have self-powered buildings
if Dubai does. 
Homeless Children in America

America's Youngest Outcasts & Campaign to End Child Homelessness


Over 1.5 million American children are homeless each year. The National Center on Family Homelessness is launching a Campaign to End Child Homelessness to galvanize the public and political will to end this national crisis. Our goal is to ensure that not one child in the United States will be homeless for even one day.


Great report only as how they break down the information, and that there is someone out there looking a this. How is your state doing?

I'll bet Bank of America isn't liking this

In a revealing example of what she says the average homeowner faces, a California Congresswoman spent more than two hours on the phone trying, without success, to find someone at the Bank of America who could help a struggling constituent modify his mortgage payments. ABC News "Nightline" cameras were rolling as Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Ca.) was repeatedly put on hold for long stretches, disconnected, transferred to extensions that did not work and ultimately switched to a recording which directed her to the bank's website.


"The average American trying to negotiate a loan modification will not be able to get it done," said Waters. "It will be impossible for them to get in touch with the right person, and even if they get in touch with a so-called counselor, they have a cookie cutter kind of direction that they go in."


Every Indian in America must be slamming votes for this kid. It's the only thing that
stinks. Sundance sang circles around that kid. It had to have been a planned thing.  Something just wreaks about the whole thing.
And yet there are thousands (probably millions) starving to death in America.....nm

Well said, everything. I am tired of feeling like I don't even live in America anymore. sm

That's what I LOVE about America. Freedom of Religion, speech, etc. But sm
I have to say, if you are an atheist (I am a Christian, BTW), where is your moral "compass" (sorry for the pun) I was an atheist for many, many years (3/4 of my life spent without God or religion). In that time I was: Suicidal, desperate, a liar, a phony, had no direction in life, a slander and just about everything else worldly you could think of. I was selfish..must I go on?
Then, when I hit rock bottom I had no where to look but up. He was there (God). He placed me upon a rock and I've never looked back or down since. I can honestly say I no longer lie or think bad thoughts about other people. I have a clear direction for my life. I do follow Biblical principles and obey His laws. I have a moral compass and a value system I am so proud of. As an atheist there was no right or wrong in my life. Since I didn't fear God I did basically whatever I felt was good or right, even believe in abortion. I am being totally transparent with you, from one ex-atheist to another atheist.

How do you explain a radical life change such as myself? Where do you draw your line of morality from? God says abortion is wrong and so it's wrong. God says a gay lifestyle is an abomination, and so it is. Don't get mad at me, It's in His Word. He said it. Not me.

Anyways, I think that there is much to be said about living a good Christian lifestyle and following its beliefs. My life is in clear order now instead of chaos. I have a life-long goal - to make it to heaven and take those whom I love with me.

What a sad, sad life I led before God. Wow. Like the old saying goes, "I never want to go back to my old life." Good luck to you.


Uh--"Feeding America Event"? Lord have mercy! nm

I live on the East Coast, definitely not "small town America"
Again, you shouldn't make excuses to spoil your kids and you absolutey shouldn't make assumptions that I live in "small town America" as that's definitely not the case. I was extremely careful driving because I always knew that if I got any kind of traffic violation, I was going to have to pay for it with my insurance rates going up. I grew up with a lot of kids that were spoiled as they "had" to have the most expensive clothes and shoes and, of course, couldn't pay for anything else and then mommy and daddy would foot the bill! Absolutely insane!
Alton Brown. I like that show, too. He also hosts Iron Chef America.
