Booooo!!!!!

Gotta feelin next weeks season finale aint gonna be too happy

and That 70's Show's LAST episode is next week too :frown:

Tonight they aired - the making of - the last one.....

I'm gonna miss that one...

poop....

TV sucks... its supposed to be a good escape from crap, atleast for a little while...

sad stuff is always happening, even on happy shows, and every show I watch, its basically because they hold memories of stuff that has happened in real life for me too....

blah...

my life sucks sometimes most of the time...

Thanks for the link J... looks like there is some hope yet eh? Man, looking at some of those buildings it is just a wonder that they can even be saved... one of them has been caved in for at least a couple of years. Sure hope they can save them... would love to look at some of those homes! :smile:

I also posted this in the hall o fame.

Ha! Thanks mrmikey. I tried to save him..I really did! I threw all my votes to him when I saw what was happening at dialidol.com. I usually vote for Taylor. :sillygrin: But Katharine should have gone that night. :chagrin:

Did you hear that Fuel has invited him to join their band as lead singer?

no I didn't hear that! Thanks, I'll let Penny know. I told her it was her fault because she didn't vote the last time. Even Katherine was shocked. Every one was. He had to say it twice before anybody beleived it. He'll make more money in fuel than being the american idol anyways. Good for him.

WARNING: CONSPIRACY THEORY AHEAD!

If he got the singer job with Fuel, makes me wonder if it wasn't a set up to have him lose.

I thought he already had a band?

I seem to recall a couple o' times when they cut to people in the audience - seeing the words "Chris' band" pop up, on the screen...

Mothers

If you send this to just one person, it should make it all the way

around the world by Mother's Day.

This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in

their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry

Kool-Aid saying, "It's alright honey, Mommy's here." Who have sat in

rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies who can't be

comforted.

This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their

hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse. For

all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween

costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.

This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And

the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes. And for the

mothers who lost their baby in that precious 9 months that they will

never get to watch grow on earth but one day will be reunited with in

Heaven!

This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging on

their refrigerator doors. And for all the mothers who froze their buns

on metal bleachers at football or soccer games instead of watching from

the warmth of their cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see

me, Mom?" they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the

world," and mean it.

This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store

and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet and scream for ice

cream before dinner. And for all the mothers who count to ten instead,

but realize how child abuse happens.

This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and

explained all about making babies. And for all the (grand) mothers who

wanted to, but just couldn't find the words.

This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat.

For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year.

And then read it again. "Just one more time."

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their

shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted

for Velcro instead.

This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their

daughters to sink a jump shot.

This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little

voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring

are at home -- or even away at college.

This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach

aches assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get

calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick

them up. Right away.

This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the

words to reach them.

This is for all the step-mothers who raised another woman's child or

children, and gave their time, attention, and love... sometimes totally

unappreciated!

For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their

14-year-olds dye their hair green.

For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the

mothers of those who did the shooting.

For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of

their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school,

safely.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful,

and now pray they come home safely from a war.

What makes a good Mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips?

The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt,

all at the same time? Or is it in her heart? Is it the ache you feel

when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking

to school alone for the very first time? The jolt that takes you from

sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 AM. to put your hand on the back

of a sleeping baby? The panic, years later, that comes again at 2 A.M.

when you just want to hear their key in the door and know they are safe

again in your home? Or the need to flee from wherever you are and hug

your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?

The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for

young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation...

and mature mothers learning to let go... for working mothers and

stay-at-home mothers...single mothers and married mothers... mothers

with money, mothers without... this is for you all, for all of us...

hang in there... in the end we can only do the best we can. tell them

every day that we love them.... and pray! please pass along to all the

Moms in your life. "Home is what catches you when you fall - and we all

fall." Please pass this to a wonderful mother you know... I JUST DID!!!=============

heres a "mothers" e-mail I got.

Famous Mothers

1) The youngest mother whose history is authenticated is Lina Medina, who

delivered a 6½-pound boy by Cesarean section in Lima, Peru in 1939, at an

age of 5 years and 7 months. The child was raised as her brother and only

discovered that Lina was his mother when he was 10.

2) On April 9, 2003, Satyabhama Mahapatra, a 65-year-old retired

schoolteacher in India, became the world's oldest mother when she gave

birth to a baby boy. Satyabhama and her husband had been married 50 years,

but this is their first child. The baby was conceived through artificial

insemination using eggs from the woman's 26-year-old niece, Veenarani

Mahapatra, and the sperm of Veenarani's husband.

3) Eric Clapton was born to an unwed mother and to shield him from the

shame, Eric grew up believing that his grandparents were his parents and

his mother was his sister.

4) Jayne Bleackley is the mother who holds the record for the shortest

interval between two children born in separate confinements. She gave birth

to Joseph Robert on September 3, 1999, and Annie Jessica Joyce on March 30,

2000. The babies were born 208 days apart.

5) Elizabeth Ann Buttle is the mother who holds the record for the longest

interval between the birth of two children. She gave birth to Belinda on

May 19,1956 and Joseph on November 20, 1997. The babies were born 41 years

185 days apart. The mother was 60 years old when her son Joseph was born.

6) The highest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is

69, to the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782) of Shuya, Russia.

Between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16

pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets. 67 of

them survived infancy.

7) The modern world record for giving birth is held by Leontina Albina from

San Antonio, Chile. Leontina claims to be the mother of 64 children, of

which only 55 of them are documented. She is listed in the 1999 Guinness

World Records but dropped from later editions.

:ooh: Katherine Hepburn's father was a surgeon and her mother was a dedicated

suffragette and early crusader for birth control.

9) Kim Basinger's mother had been a champion swimmer who performed water

ballets in several Esther Williams movies in the 1940s.

10) Elvis Presley, was a mama's boy. He slept in the same bed with his

mother, Gladys, until he reached puberty. Up until Elvis entered high

school, she walked him back and forth to school every day and made him take

along his own silverware so that he wouldn't catch germs from the other

kids. Gladys forbade young Elvis from going swimming or doing anything that

might put him in danger. The two of them also conversed in a strange baby

talk that only they could understand.
