Does anyone here realize there are other dancers besides Kate that have kids at home. True. going on.. The person voted off tonite was a pretty good dancer in my eyes but she was also a real bearcat actress in her days of fame. I'd say even worse than Kate, ya a long term bearcat. Kate is way out of her league here as is Buzz. He seems a solid good guy that had an amazing career. He's NOT a hero in my mind. Someone to admire but not my hero. I think he's brave to go out on a limb to dance but face it he really is a total stiff next to the pro's (just like Kate ). On a public dance floor he would be a great sight to see. I'm not wanting to criticize any of them for trying, I certainly couldn't do it. (could you?) But.... as many have already said the line up runs the gamut from never a dancer to a singer/dancer. And Pamala, she is about as fake as it gets but she's a good faker!!lol, kinda gross too. I'm not sure why she is tauted as the sexiest woman...gag. Is it the boobs? I can't imagine her taking care of her two kids. I bet she's wack a few if she had 8 kids. I quickly read her bio. My first thought,, G*d don't let my son date anyone 1/2 as horney as her.

I've been wondering about Trinity and Bearcat too! Also Teresa that had a baby about the same time as Bearcat. I have been busy!!! I need to find a job so I can get some rest. We finished the tile job on our patio. It looks awesome. So glad we went with this tile as it is totally non-slip. I found a nice set of outdoor furniture at Lowes. Also, see that rattan bar and stools? It's very old and I just refinished it. Still have to make new covers for the stools (there are 3 stools) but I have not found the material I want yet. I've also been working like a madman in the yard. I ripped out weeds/grass, put down 100's of pounds of Black Cow and then installed 120 pieces of sod. My back will never be the same. I had to haul it 6 pieces at a time in a wheelbarrow from the front of the house to the back. BTW, in case anyone needs to know this - a Jeep Grand Cherokee can only haul 40 pieces of sod at a time! LOL! That is heavy stuff! Here is a before and after of part of the yard. I also made a wide mulch pathway across the back of the yard and mulched the entire "butterfly garden" side of the yard. Many many bags of mulch. Before: After: Butterfly garden: And in my spare time I've been working on a stained glass panel. It's rather large (36"x30") and just yesterday I finally got the last piece of glass cut. There are about 400 pieces and I've been using up glass that I have on hand so I wouldn't have to buy any more. Now I have to grind some of the glass and make sure I have a good fit, then I will wrap each piece in copper foil to get it ready to solder. I hope to have it done sometime this summer. This is what the pattern looks like. I've also taken a couple of days and went to the beach with Sedona. She loves that! Thanks for asking! ~Betsy

Joanna, my son, now 22, had some milestone deficits growing up. I was worried sick, he showed signs of autism in his behavior and still hadn't said one word, not mama, dada or baba by 18 months. I took him to our pediatrician and asked to have testing done. He told me if Michael did not put two words together by age 2, that we would get a referral for a speech pathologist. "Two words?!?" I said, "... that's only 6 months away and he's not even babbling!" So I waited (and worried) ... waited (and worried) ... and waited ... and nothing. I couldn't wait for Michael to turn 2 so I could march right down there to the doctor's office and say "See!". I set up an appointment for two weeks after Michael's 2nd birthday. We had a big party for him, all the neighbors were invited, but Dave next door was a favorite of Michael's. Probably because he's a big Nebraska football fan and has an entire room that is filled with lively red and white (the team colors) collector's items and wall paper. During the party we're all sitting around eating cake and having fun when Dave walks in and says "Hi Michael, happy birthday!". Nothing out of the ordinary, Dave is over all the time. But this time was special ... Michael turned to him and said, in a clear and concise way ... "Hi Dave." You could have heard a pin drop! Every neighbor knew of my concerns, so they all stopped what they were doing and just stared at Michael. He didn't have a clue what the big deal was. LOL The next week Michael said "Go Big Red!!!" the Nebraska football chant. Sure makes for odd entries in the baby book! :-) I canceled the doctor's appointment. Michael is doing just fine. He graduated from high school a semester early, has already graduated from college and is well into a great career. Jodi-

Katlan, Fireman's wife left after some people here basically called her a liar. Some believed her story some didn't and were very rude to her about it. I don't know if the story was true or not but she had been here awhile before all that happened so I don't see any reason why she would have made it up. If I had been treated that way I would have left too. As a matter of fact I don't post here much or even read here like I used to because of some of the mean people who surfaced around that time. Fine if you don't believe what someone posts here but there is no need to be vicious about it. Just Scroll on by.
