Does it have to be Detroit every year. This team is terrible. No one outside of Gitmo should be forced to watch this. The Macy's Parade had more action and suspense. And while we are discussing (granted it is a one sided discussion thus far) football can someone please tell me what is wrong with Star Spangled banner? Why can noone who is remotely famous sing this song the way it is written? It is the national anthem- right. Why do singing artist (i use that term very very loosely here) find the need to add runs, change the notes and even ad lib lyrics. It ain't the Mickey Mouse Club here. Actually i doubt they would butcher M-I-C-K-E-Y nearly as badly. Just sing the song- the way it is written - the way we use to do in schools everywhgere before it became illegal.
Rant over. I hope you each ahd a wonder full thanksgiving. I am truly grateful for each of you (unless I do not know you and your some random stranger reading my post - which is a little creepy. ARe you a stalker or something - go read someone else's blog. Shoo, move it, go away..) Meds.. need to take the meds...
where was I .. Oh yes. I am thankful for all of you. Take care and enjoy the holidays (except you creepy stalker person... )
yeah me and Adam were looking for a football game to watch and we finally just put settled on a Rocky marathon. sad sad. anyway ours was good. especially with my mom's famous dressing. yum!
I am truly with you on the Star Spangled Banner thing.
Football - That's another story. I am not much for that one but in order to at least SOMETIMES get the attention of the important men (husband, son, son-in-law and grandsons) in my life, I must indulge.
True story - One of my grandsons just turned 8. He LOVES football. One of the players took a football in for the team to autograph for his birthday. He looked at all the names on it and told me two players that had missed his ball. Who knew? Kids. But he was pleased as punch with the ones that did.
So what ever strange otherworldly bug I have contract seems to be very anti-human. Meaning it wants to kill me. Vomiting (but only once every 12 hrs.) and painfully intense stomach cramps. As in i still cannot walk upright.( Yes ladies I know....).
On the bright side I have gotten to watch a lot of daytime tv. And i know know why there are so many stupid people populating this country. WOW> between the soaps, the Judge so and so shows, and the call 18000 koby commercials, I feel like the mental equilivant of a jr high boy going through puberty. ( NOT real bright).
And just in case you missed it, Rosie O'Donnell is getting her own show - again. Because her last two epic failures weren't enough to ban her.
It is to be a variety show. Suppossedly Rosie thought they said variety pack- as in donuts. She jumped at the opportunity. She was going to have a co-host, but ever since she threatened to eat elizabeth hasselbeck when they were on the view to gather- no one wants to host with her.
The show will no doubt have Tom Cruise doing something strange and babbling about scientoogist. The whole time Rosie will be drooling. Eventually she will offend the three people in the country who do not already find her revolting, and her show will be pulled. I am guessing about three weeks after it premieres.
And that would be a good run for Rosie. ( Any one want the mental picture of her in stretchy pants running down the street holding a corn dog in one hand and a funnel cake in the other.... NO ? Oh sorry.) In fact judging by the look of things it will be the only run Rosie has been on in quite some time.
Oh and keep that bug to yourself. I haven't heard about that one until now. There is enough of that going around as it is without adding another strain to the mix!
In case you missed the sarcasm, my 6 year old grandson the other day says, "Nice Browns shirt grandma!". I said "Thank you". He said, "That was sarcasm if you missed it."
To get the story straight. We were wrestling and I thought we were finished. So I go to lie down on the couch to watch TV. Then Jessi comes flying over the back of the couch with a death-cry!! She pulled up her knees and landed right on my chest. One knee hit me square in the sturnum and had all of her weight behind it. I heard a crack, it was hard to breath, and don't remember much after that.
Ugh.....I can't stand her. There is nothing worth watching during the day, thank goodness for netflix when you have to take it easy. I hope your anti-human virus goes away quick!
I completely agree about nothing being on tv during the day. Luckily I don't watch mucj tv, so it's not a real problem, but when I'm sick it is something to pass the time...except for the fact that nothing is on! Hope you get to feeling better VERY soon.
I had that bug sat. before last, it was wonderful I tell ya, and then I stayed at home on Sunday just incase the mung was on my somewhere, I am all about sharing but NOT that!!! and Rosie is so irratating, i cannot stand her voice, when she was on Martha Stewart show one time(yes, i love martha) i wrote into the show and told them how dissapointed I was and a complete waste of airtime with her on it.
Daytime TV is bizzare at best. As for Rosie... I have no words!
I'm dressing up in my Forks HS shirt adn replica bracelet for the movie. No goth vampire for me! We're going at 1:00 Friday afternoon while all the kids are still in school (hopefully their parents aren't stupid enough to pull them out of school for it. Although it wouldn't surprise me!)
I HATE daytime tv, there's absolutely nothing on! And yuck!!!! I can't believe anyone would want to put Rosie O'Donnell on their network, seriously, what is wrong with those people.
Any better today? Monica said something about the possibility of a visit at your place tonight. But, forive my bluntness, I'M NOT COMING ANYWHERE NEAR YOU IF YOU ARE STILL PUKING AND WALKING BENT IN HALF!
Excellent (and truthful) description! One reason I don't watch much TV. I'm going to dread the day when I'm old and in a nursing home and some nurse parks my wheelchair in front of daytime TV to keep me occupied! Talk about cruel and inhuman treatment!
Anyway, Happy Turkey day!
Happy Thanksgiving! "Whut's it we're famous for?""Stealin'!" shouted the blue men."And what else, lads?" "Fightin'!" "And what else?""Drinkin'!""And what else?" There was a certain amount of thought about this, but they all reached the same conclusion."Drinkin' and fightin'!""And there was summat else," muttered the twiddler. "Ach, yes. Tell the hag, lads!""Stealin' an' drinkin' an' fightin'!" shouted the blue men cheerfully.
I watched RADIO forthe first time last night. I watched based on the fact that Terry metioned that our old roommate Jimmy Buttrey had met the real RADIO. The movie is awesome. I think I will go buy it.
Question: Why do kids find it fun to pick on those that are handicapped. especially those that are mentally handicapped?
If you haven't seen the movie - check it out. there is a little language 9not much but some) but the movie is inspiring and moving, not mention a lot of fun.
Very sick right now - and not from chemo. I actually cancelled my treatments today because for this nefarious stomack bug I have gotten. Hopefully it will pass soon.
^^^Yuck. Just read above. Just what you need...a stomach virus! Is yours the puke one time and then feel nauseated for a loooong time plus chills? or is it the puke and puke and puke and puke one?
I think kids do that because it's different and they don't know how to handle that. More kids need to be told HOW to behave! There isn't enough dialogue or exposure.
I've never heard of it, I'll have to order it off netflix. A few years ago I was at the mall in Charlotte, NC and there was a group of girls and boys that had to be around 16 years, they were making fun of a girl who was walking with braces on her legs and I think she had some other problems. They were being blatantly rude and saying horrible things out loud for everyone to hear, it made me so mad that I actually went up to them and told them how rude and inmature they were...and I told them a few other things I won't mention:) I just can't believe people do that still.
When I have a Deaf or hard of hearing who's being picked on I go into their class (w/ parent & student permission). I let the hearing students listen to the hearing aids w/ my listening device (it has a name but I don't know how to spell it) and I answer questions @ deafness. It usually stops the teasing.
I think kids tease b/c of the unknown. The more they understand the less they tease.
Can i just say how thankful I am for celebrities. I mean -what would my life be like if Posh spice hadn't moved to America. How would I cope with my everyday life if I couldn't read about Amy Winehouse ( I really do think she will kick the alcohol, meth and heroin addiction before she kills herself - or maybe not).
Where would politicians turn if we didn't have Susan sarandon (washed up) and Madonna telling us who to vote for. (You do know that Madonna follows a religion that is based on a red piece of string being tied around your finger... right lets all follow the looney's lead.)
What would little girls aspire to be if the Olsen twins didn't own every single product line imaginable for adolescent teens? How would little boys grow up to be men if the Hulkster and his now defunct family weren't on tv, the news and in jail?
And let me just say how thankful I am for Kayne West - who is now the self proclaimed voice of our generation. ( Oh yeah that's going to work out well for everyone.)
And of course, if it weren't for Tom Cruise and his wacko religious scifi friends saving the world, making a difference, harrassing all who oppose them, well we would all be suffering from evil thetan like creatures that inhabit our bodies. ( People really believe this garbage... ) And have you noticed the resemblence between the scientology symbol and the S on superman? Was superman a scientologist? he was an alien....
Over all I would say that our lives a truly enriched thanks to celebrities. Maybe I shouldn't try to mow them over, run them down and otherwise rid the world oftheir exsistence. Afer who would be the spokesperson for gay rights is Ian mcKellan and Rosie "give me a donut" O'donnell didn't exsist?
( By the way I know my spelling stinks, I am a pe coach after all so get over it..... besides I had Tori Spelling of all people proof read and all I got was a "I don't get it". No you didn't tori- and that is the point.
I don't think you are really thankful for them. As for me, I am so very very happy that Tom Cruise is in my life. He is so smart, level-headed and the samest person I know.
And Madonna is my idol...so back off her and her kabala ways!
Hey......ya know what? I don't think you are really thankful here. Are you being sarcastic? We don't get a lot of sarcasm in these parts. Well once back in '95 but we thought it was aloofness. And just so ya know, SUPERMAN IS NOT A SCIENTOLOGIST!!!!!!
There was a forward floating around 4 yrs ago when Bush was reelected showing what degrees all these very intelligent act have worked so hard for... most were high school grads. then they showed the degrees held by our politicians & where they went to school. Not that our politicians are fabulous but seriously I'd rather listen to a Havard grad or a grad from any college than an actor who's a high school grad or went to acting school.
You know, it's no wonder Obama won, he had all the actors backing him up...I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to vote for someone that oprah, brad pitt, george clooney, ben afleck, and much more are voting for:)
Here's something I don't get... WHY people care so much what they do. Why don't people just get up and do something interesting themselves instead of reading about interesting(or not-so interesting) things that celebrities have done?
Hey! Really glad I got to talk to you today. Not that I don't love talking to AJ. But talking to you happens much less often. And I rally was happy to get to do it.
haha! wow. that made my day! it's so true. everytime i turn on the TV or read the news i feel so good about myself! haha so if you ever feel down take a look into their lives. NOT PRETTY! anywho hope you are feeling better
I am not a a huge fan of all things british. I do like Monty python, the Beatles are alright, and their dental hygiene is lacking. However I do like the Robin Hood series on the BBC. Dude lives in the woods. Pretty woods -not pines and sand like the woods here. (Ok we do have a lot of palmettoes too. big Whoop) He also gets to shoot his bow and arrow anywhere he pleases -very cool- my neighbors got mad when my slingshot was innocently aimed at a certain cat one evening- think what they do if I had a real bow and arrow.
All of robin's best friends live with him- granted it might get a little smelly cause I have yet to see a shower in the woods. But still that's pretty cool.
He also gets the hottie from the show. Maid Marion- granted with the amount of time she as spent with Robin in the woods she might not be a maid anymore. but his name is Robin so maybe her virture is still virtuous. (Was that tactful enough?)
Soo- after I get done with the cancer stuff- I am going camping in the deep dark woods -with my friends- and bow and arrows- and my own hottie. (Soemone has to cook- right?) I can get by with that because she never reads pleonast.
Oh I am also building a secret hideout known only to about twenty random people. HAHAHA no one will ever find it because as long as only twenty poor people know about it the secret hideout is safe -right.
I really, really like British bands, Beatles, Mcfly, The Feeling ect. and you have to love the accent Brits have! I have never seen that show but it does sound interesting, I did love Robin Hood Men In Tights I believe with Cary Ewles (Princes Bride). I love camping too BUT, there has to be a flushing toilet! Now the question, who will tell Andrea about your remarks and who will be the first to spill the beans about your secret hideout!
Growing up on a farm we only had to hike about a half a mile from our back door to be in the deep woods. We camped out every weekend in the summer it seems like. Now my creature comforts rule. Give me a thermostat any day. :) Have you ever tried to make your own bow?
haha. wow. i do like british comedy! its pretty funny... my dad and Paul like it so i watch it occasionally. and robin hood is pretty cool. but i must say if you are going for awesome woods you should look at the fire swamp. "the trees really are quite lovely."
no doubt -floating down the river in the dark- watching fireflies, praying that one of us can remember where to get out at.... Good times. Not to mention a bon fire to end all bon fires. ( Flaming log rolling down the hill - clint asking "How do we stop it" the rest of just watch as it rolls into the river - "that's how."
