Good Morning Good Afternoon and if I don't see ya later Good Night I have nasy nasty weather and the day off WHOO HOO gonna try to run out in between showers to get s few things potted. The Jasmine tea last night was great and very relaxing that paired with a good painkiller and I woke up on the couch this morning still in the sitting position...LOL Oh I was also tired from working all day I used the massager/File last night works great on fingernails too. There are so many great gifts bring sent how in the world will we choose a winner?? maybe a message with all photos in it with a number?? How are you gonna chose? V

I voted in my office pool while on the way to meet with the realtor and I voted for Kris to win. The fellow running it texted me back and asked if I was sure because everyone else was voting for Adam so I told him Kris yes Kris. I ended up placing 5th out of 26 so I am pleased although I did not win any cash LOL!! I missed the first hour but made it home for the Queen and Kiss performance....OMG!!! Adam would be perfect in either band!! I think Brian May (the guitarist from Queen) saw that Adam would be perfect too!! In regard to the voting...I thing that a lot of folks just assumed Adam would win and so they did not vote-or maybe they tried to vote but got a busy signal and figured he was going to win....shame because he really was fantastic. Yes Adam did get America to watch Idol again and he deserves praise for that!! The part of the show I saw was really good! Amy taped the whole thing so after my chores I will sit and watch. So no more Idol, Survivor or DwtS....no worries!!! Looks like Jon and Kate are back on with their show (I bet it'll be tough to watch) and it only a few short weeks till Big Brother-my personal fave reaity show starts!! Hopefully with Julie Chen preggers they'll get someone with a personality to host it this time!! LOL!! Cheers! Susie PS....way to go Kara!! You my dear stole the show!!

I thought I would check in before leaving for the weekend. Yesterday was a day from hell. I am asking you again for prayers and support for my family. What I am going to tell you is almost impossible to believe. It concerns two of my nephews. One is ninth grade, the other away at college, finishing up his senior year. Last week my brother and his wife received a call from the ninth grader's school, saying that he had suffered an "episode" and recommended taking him to the doctor. To make a long story short, he had gotten extremely stressed out at school (he is always on the honors list) and just cracked. They described it as a manic episode. He is seeing several doctors and has gotten better, went back to school yesterday. When talking to my mother yesterday morning, she said she had started receiving some very bizarre emails from our other nephew, who is away at college. She didn't want to bother my brother, because of everything they had been going through with the younger son. I asked her to forward them to me, and gosh almighty, they were more than bizarre, really out of it, almost suicidal. So I told her I was going to track down my brother and/or his wife at their work and let them know. To make a long story short, this nephew has also suffered some sort of manic breakdown - they tested him and did not find drugs or alcohol in his system and will be committing him to a mental hospital for evaluation. My brother is with him, as my sister-in-law had to stay home with the other son. I was hesitant to post this on a forum, but I believe in prayer and that it can help heal, and my poor brother and his family need it in the worst way. They are just stunned and in shock. They are the last family you would think something like this would happen to. Very stable environment, very supportive of their children. Thank you for letting me share.

I started a thread this morning about AI.. it fell to page 2, but here are the posts from it. American Idol last night Posted by lydia1959 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:09 What did you think? I really liked Danny Gokey and thought both Anoop and the Braddy kid were good. The girls were mostly awful IMO... sadly I thought Tatiana was about the best of them. Follow-Up Postings: o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by danihoney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:15 Same here. I love Danny, he's nice looking too. Sadly is exactly the word I would have chosen with Tatiana. Unless one of the other girls loosens up and really shows something, Tatiana has the better voice. But man that girl is just not 'right' if you know what I mean. She seems a little off and I can't see her winning this thing. I think she even creeps the judges out a little. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by matti5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:52 Danny is my favorite, he has so much heart and soul in his music. I like Anoop dog as well. I thought the guys far out shined the girls last night. I agree that Tatiana did well, but she definitely creeps me out. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by happy_go_lucky_gayle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 10:57 I don't know the Blondes name (with the red tips), but we like her best of all the girls. Tatiana's just to creepy. I agree Danny and Anoop are very good. o RE: American Idol last night * Posted by samkaren (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 12:40 I agree with Happy go lucky. Don't know the names yet but #3 with pink and blonde hair was the best. Tatiana did well but Simon said it best.."you are a drama queen". Still she did a good job with the Whitney Houston song. Didn't think much of the guys last night. Can't wait to see who gets picked tonight. If Tatiana doesn't make it through I wonder if she will have a melt down on stage. SamKaren your resident DJ
