    Please pray for my husband!

    I want to thank everyone for praying and ask for continued prayer. So far all of my husband's blood work has come back normal except for some elevated sugar levels. They kept him over night for observation and are running a stress test today which will take all day. If the stress test comes back...

    Please pray for my husband!

    My husband has been under a lot of stress lately at his job (possible outsourcing of his area in which he is supervisor). He's had people quit and his emotions have been on a constant rollercoaster. On top of all of this a couple of weeks ago we had our car blow a cylinder and we really didn't...

    Amazing Race 9

    They were tied for first when they came to a road block where they had to dig through 100+ piles of sand until they found one of 6 piles that had an underground oven. Once you found one of the 6 piles, you were to pull up the bag of food cooking in the oven and bring it to someone to get your...

    American Inventors

    It seemed to me that he took the thought of changing HIS design in any way as a personal insult. :doh: He thought it was perfect the way it was. IMO, his ego wouldn't step asside long enough for him to really listen to and understand the benefits of changing the product. Plus, he didn't seem...

    American Inventors

    I guess I am the odd man out on this. I thought the inbrella was an interesting invention, but it was just way too big and bulky to sell well even if they had the prototype working correctly. I'm sure they could have gotten the size down a little bit smaller, but I just don't think it would have...

    Survivor-Panama: Outcast

    What my hubby and I didn't understand is why didn't they give him a laxative or something several days before when he first started having trouble? Maybe the issue would not have gotten to this point where he was writhing in pain and had to quit the competition if he was just given some ex-lax...

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    I couldn't agree with you more. And as for Carrie, I think her record sales speak for themselves.:cool: VFTW had nothing to do with her winning, her fans did. The problem with Carrie is that you either like country or you don't........it's a very popular genre but not the most popular. The...

    Amazing Race 9

    I agree with you. I remember when people wouldn't help them out and snubbed them, so I don't see a problem with them doing it back to the others now. They are not my favorite couple, but they have overcome quite a bit (including making some stupid choices along the way) to get this far and...

    24 - New Season January 2006

    Yeah I didn't like him last season either and I think for the same reason, but I am glad to see him back and working on the 'right' side in this one. Him and Chloe should be a good team to help Jack.:thumbsup:

    Well we taped the first hour while we watched Survivor. When it came to watching that first hour we probably did so in about 20 minutes or less because of all the repeat footage we were able to skip. I think the outcome of last night's episode was appropriate. The un/inbrella just wasn't living...

    End of Channel Surfing ?

    The problem comes if eventually all new TVs have the technology...or if cable boxes eventually have the technology installed by default. Just because Phillips is patenting it, doesn't mean they can't sell the use of the technology to other companies for a pretty penny if broadcasting companies...

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    We'll agree to disagree on how Taylor handled it. I think part of it was staged for ratings anyway. Theories are runing rampant right now on a lot of boards about the whole thing.

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    Not necessarily, they are not singing Andrea Bocelli songs per se (thank God), just classic love songs....so we really don't know what they will be allowed to chose from. Hopefully there will be some good songs in the list.:thumbsup:

    Amazing Race 9

    True, but it would have been harder to see. Hopefully the hippies will be able to bring themselves back from this though. I truly think that they are the best equipped from a personality perspective to be able to dig themselves out of the no money/no posessions situation and get back to the...

    Thanks for reminding me, that is indeed who it was and I thought it was the best way to handle this situation by far!:thumbsup:

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    Sorry, I don't buy it. It would be one thing to just pick who you thought were the best and go stand beside them, which is what he was asked to do....if he had done that simply I would not have a problem with him. BUT it's another thing altogether to go ahead and fake out the one group and to...

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    He should have taken the classy way out of it and just stood in the middle of the stage essentially between the two groups. Someone did that in the past (can't remember which contestant) and I thought that is the best way to handle it. I lost a little respect for Taylor as a person for doing it...

    Amazing Race 9

    Finally a non-elimination leg! I think they are definitely a team who can come back from this if they put everything into it. Very sad to see them get to the digging part first and leave last though. It is somewhat reminiscent of the two girls where the one worked and worked all day (and...

    American Idol (2007) Thread 2

    Last night bored me a little. I mean everyone did okay for the most part but it just didn't have much excitement or personality. In general I think this season has kind of fallen flat through this middle stretch and just isn't as interesting/exciting as it was earlier on or as past seasons at...

    From a preview I saw earlier today it sounded like the first hour will be 'best of' and the second hour will actually be the competition, but who knows for certain.
